Moncton (West. Co.) Sept. 24 - This morn., a little before 5 o'clock, Isaac CLARK discovered at Church St. railway crossing the horribly mangled remains of a woman. It was apparent by the disposition of the remains that the woman had been killed by the incoming morning express and the body runover again and further mutilated by the outgoing express for Halifax. The remains at length were identified as those of Eliza BAILEY, well known about town. The real name of the deceased is McNAMARA. Her father, who lived in St. John, died many years ago. She was adopted by Martha BAILEY who lives on the McLaughlin road and has always been known by that name. Her stepfather is named SHAW. The deceased was about 23 years of age.
